I
SOMEWHERE in the Hinterland north of the Thames,
between the settlements of South Kensington and Gloucester Road,
there is, on the very
edge of modern civilization, a sign-post, one of whose arms points
to the Hub of Empire, London, and the other, at right angles,
to the uncolonized territory of Hayward's Grove. Who erected the
sign-post
is not known; probably Hayward. To the burgesses of South Kensington,
and more particularly, to their wives, this mention of London
is a source of irritation; for how can they persuade themselves
that
Town is `full' or `empty', according to whether they are or are
not in residence, if Hayward continues to assert that `Town'
is, in fact, somewhere else? But to the freemen of Hayward's Grove
it is a source of pride that they should have a sign-post to
themselves,
and, on a wet night, a satisfaction that it should be so visible
to their charioteers. For, left to himself, no cabman would take
a gentleman in eveningclothes, a captain possibly, into so unpromising
an alley.
By some accident the freeholds of the twelve houses of Hayward's
Grove are in possession of twelve owners, all of whom live, or,
as agents say, reside there. But for this, no doubt, the Grove
would now be a block of delightful flats with a frontage into
Eastney Street; or a day-and-night garage; or the Wire-netting
and Garden
Accessories Department of Ilankey's Stores. From time to time
Mrs. Carstairs, at Number 6, had expressed a willingness to be
a twelfth
part of the Wire-netting Department, but her situation, in the
middle of the Grove, prevented the negotiations from crystallizing
into any
